Quiet residential community with a central park just off Interstate 15
Centered around the expansive Felicita County Park and connected to wilderness trails that lead to Lake Hodges, Felicita is a peaceful neighborhood. “It’s a really nice place that’s actually still growing,” says Andrea Rodriguez, senior park ranger with Felicita County Park since 2018. “A new housing development was just built directly across the street from the park, so you can just walk right over.” Daily essentials and access points to the Escondido Freeway, also known as the 15, are at its edges, and the elementary school is within the neighborhood.

Central Felicita County Park, nearby Lake Hodges
The community’s core recreational asset, Felicita County Park, is on the National Register of Historic Places for its legacy as the former site of one of San Diego County’s largest indigenous villages. Educational signs in the park pay homage to the land’s Kumeyaay ancestry. “It’s a nice 52-acre area with multiuse trails and the Escondido Creek that runs year-round, so you can hike by waterfalls,” Rodriguez says. “It’s often reserved for birthday parties, community celebrations or fire safety council events. The pickleball courts are always full — it’s a high-use amenity. And we’re right off the freeway, so people come from all over.” The park also offers a playground, multiple sports fields, and a disc golf course. Residents are also just a 3-mile, hour-long hike away from the wide northern bend of the Lake Hodges reservoir. Bernardo Mountain Peak provides a panoramic lookout, and the longer hike to Fletcher Point has plenty of challenging inclines — but the views across Lake Hodges make the trek worthwhile.
Enjoy the views at Vintana Wine + Dine, shop Escondido’s largest mall
Though the residential areas of Felicita may seem secluded from the rest of Escondido, residents are only minutes away from many of the area’s shops and restaurants. On the northern end of the neighborhood, Vintana Wine + Dine is a favorite for sophisticated steak dinners with a penthouse view of scenic rolling mountains. At the southern edge, Plaza Del Lago Center is home to Chito’s Taco Shop and the casual Rock On Pizza, featuring build-your-own thin-crust “East Coast style” pies. The 83-acre North County Mall is less than a mile from southern Felicita. This indoor retail resource of more than 100 stores also includes several quick-casual restaurants. Groceries are convenient at Trader Joe’s in Felicita Town Center, right across the 15, just a 4-mile drive from the neighborhood’s center. For locally grown produce and gluten-free goods, the charming Farm Stand West, owned and operated by fourth-generation farmers, is also just across the 15.
